MAGNOLIA acuminata 'Brenda' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Mike Stansberry Parentage: seedling of var. subcordata, but has glabrous, not hairy twigs. Description: Noted magnoliaphile Pat McCracken says this is THE deepest yellow magnolia he has ever seen, and he has over 100 in his collection. Flower is the same size as 'Butterflies', but a much brighter color. It is a seedling of acuminata var. cordata; probably a natural tetraploid, because the leaves are thick and dark. Blooms late, and sporadically all summer, with the leaves. Growth is slow, probably to 20 feet. Blooms around April 25 in Zone 7. Discovered as a seedling at Beaver Creek Nursery in TN by Mike Stansberry and named for his wife. | ||||
